What year is it? He’s not under any major stress to keep pumping out hilarious sketch comedy for The Dave Chappelle Show so why is Dave Chappelle freaking out again? And on an airplane on top of that.

According to TMZ Davd boarded a private jet in New Jersey last night headed to his home city of Ohio. But sometime early in the flight the comedian started freakin’ out and refused to keep his seat belt on. Then Dave repeatedly walked into the cockpit, asking how much longer the flight would be and started grabbing the pilots arm. That’s an in flight no-no of course.

Sources say the pilot determined Chappelle was a safety risk and diverted the plane to Pittsburgh. We’re told Chappelle then checked into a nearby hotel for the night. Sources at the hotel tell us Dave has been telling hotel employees he wanted to rent a car to drive back to Ohio … only he couldn’t remember where he lived.

Chappelle was spotted wandering out of the hotel early this morning.

A rep for Chappelle explains the incident to TMZ by saying Dave really needed to use the restroom — he ate something that didn’t sit well — and the bathroom on the plane was “not the kind he needed.”

I really don’t want to say it. So I’ll let you come to your own conclusions. But it starts with a D and ends with an rugs. Too much 4th of July partying, mayhaps?
